Instructions
- Preheat oven at 200C fan.

Drizzle with some olive oil and massage the pumpkin, season with a bit of sea salt and bake for 30’ approximately or until soft enough to mash with a fork.
- Whisk the eggs in a big bowl, add the feta cheese crumbled, the milk, mint, thyme, 4-5 tbsp olive oil, salt and pepper.
- Mash the roasted pumpkin with a fork and add it to the bowl. Finally add the corn flour. Mix well to combine.
- Grease a round pan 30cm with olive oil and pour the pie mix evenly using the back of a spoon. Drizzle with some more olive oil and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Bake for about 30-35’ or until the surface goldens.
